Two things I remember about the original Red Dawn, Ben Johnson’s character told the boys that the Cubans/Ruskies went to all the hardware/sporting good stores that sold weapons and got lists of people who bought weapons and had them rounded up. The other thing was that Powers Boothe’s character told them that the Cuban special forces infiltrated into the U.S. sneaking across the southern border disguised as illegal immigrants. You knew you wouldn’t see those politically incorrect statements in the latest movie.
